Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

grill-me scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Grill Me — Interactive Oral-Exam Drill

You answer, out loud, one grounded question at a time. This skill plays a skeptical examiner and interrogates you — escalating on weak or evasive answers — then hands you a study sheet of what you fumbled, with model answers. Two flavours: defend your own research, or study a class you're learning.

Two Modes (auto-detected; override with --defend / --study)

Defend Study
Target Your own paper / model / proof / research idea A class, subject, textbook chapter, lecture notes you're learning
Goal Rehearse defending your choices under pressure Test + deepen recall and understanding of the material
"Right answer"? No single right answer — you defend a choice; the examiner probes whether it holds Yes — there's an objectively correct answer; wrong answers get corrected
Default persona Skeptical-but-fair examiner (viva/referee) Examiner-Socratic (an examiner who also teaches when you miss)
Prep for Viva · job talk · seminar Q&A · referee/rebuttal armour Exams · comprehension checks · learning a new field

Auto-detect: if the target is one of the user's own artifacts (a paper-*/ dir, a proof, an atlas topic he authored) → defend. If it's course material / textbook / lecture notes / a subject he's revising → study. When ambiguous, ask once.

Everything below is shared; mode-specific differences are called out inline.

When to Use

  • Defend: preparing for a viva / thesis defense / job talk / seminar Q&A; building referee/rebuttal armour before submission.
  • Study: revising for an exam; checking you actually understand a class, textbook chapter, or a new field — active-recall practice, not passive re-reading.

When NOT to Use

  • You want a written critique of a paper, not a live drill → referee2-reviewer / paper-critic / review-cluster.
  • You want to stress-test an argument in prosedevils-advocate.
  • You want to draft a rebuttal to genuine venue reviews you already have → review-response / strategic-revision --external.
  • You want a passive summary of the material → just ask for one; grill-me is for being tested.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
